If I were to include the password as a string literal, then save the

Binary file isn't encrypted, nach, but it seems safe for my own
use...
(sorry, because of how i filter list mail i hadn't seen that
this topic was addressed to me.)
you can drop a run-only script onto ResEdit and see all the
strings it contains. if you don't want to run Classic, just use
the shell command:
strings - filename/rsrc
so it's *very* unsafe.
